for your error, you have one repo that isn't authenticated. Could you go to software center, to edit -> software sources, go to the other sources.
delete that source (do a aptitude update to be sure it's completely deleted) and add it again. Normally the adding should get the GPG key.
Then try again to run the commands from above.
Do you mean the synaptic package manager when you say software center? I didn't see a "software sources" within the "edit" menu. I checked other places in the synaptic package manager, found repositories, though wasn't sure where to go or what exactly to delete in them, it's kind of confusing.

Okay, that's actually the list of messages (from running "safe-upgrade") that I was looking for before when I ran the system's GUI-based Update application. Here's the output:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046158
Code:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7f931814
gpg --export --armor 7f931814 | sudo apt-key add -
Okay, I ran those two commands. Here's the output...
Output from the keyserver/receive command:
Code:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7f931814
gpg: requesting key 7F931814 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 7F931814: public key "Launchpad PPA for Andrea Piccinelli" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
The output from the export/add command was simply:
I ran another "update" and the GPG error message is now gone.
I ran another "safe-upgrade" and it appears to have the same errors as I copied/pasted in the safe-upgrade output above. At a glance, however, this time it did not include "Writing extended state information... Done" at the end. Though, the other errors are still there. 
These specific things seem to not want to update:
postfix
bsd-mailx
mailx
lsb-core
lsb-graphics
lsb-cxx
lsb-desktop
lsb
100% Pure Ubuntu
Some updates will not update.
